When I get very sleepy and am falling asleep, I say some pretty funny things. Once when one of those who live with me asked me to do something, I apparently said, "I'll have my men see to it." I am the only one beneath this roof who has men at their disposal. So... apparently just the other day there was another such instance. Someone was doing schoolwork and was having difficulties. I do remember saying, "I'd help you, but I'm too tired." (I was on the couch, falling asleep.) So the schoolwork-doing person said, "Well, maybe you could get one of your men to help." Then I apparently replied, "Or one of my minions... a darling of minions." And then I am told I said, "That's not a real unit, you know" (meaning that "darling" isn't a counter for minions--you know, a pride of lions, a pod of whales, a darling of minions.)

In other under-20 news... you in the 20-plus age bracket (especially a certain elderly someone who's about to turn 26) may not know about the marvelous retort, "your mom!" I'll explain, as I've had it explained to me:

When someone said "your mom"....you would reply "my mom's dead" so as to surprise the guy saying "your mom"...it was supposed to shock them and embarrass them...even though your mom wasn't really dead....make sense?don't forget...this is adolescent humor here
